Chillin' at The Mojo Zone

This weekend, after our ritual Friday dinner at Chicago Don Jose with Kim and J.J., we all headed over to Bad Brad's place, The Mojo Zone, to see if there was any live music to be had. Small bars and live music venues like this are hit particularly hard in the low season. When the world famous Tequilla Barrel has only 5 tables full on a Friday night, you KNOW that it's October in Playa!

Mojo Zone is on 5th Ave. just south of the Tequila Barrel. The is a retail space below and a staircase to the right that leads upstairs to the bar. Usually, there is someone manning the door. It's a small space creating a very intimate "jazz clubbish" experience. We like it.

Actually, it's a much needed break from the action. Hope we see you next time you're here.

No wonder we missed it. I always forget to look UP when walking down 5th! We'll have to find it in Feb. Sounds like a good spot to hang out.
